Pagulayan Wins PartyPoker Masters
ALEX PAGULAYAN IS the 2008 PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters Champion as he came from behind to beat Mika Immonen 8-6 in the front of a packed crowd at the Riviera Hotel, Las Vegas.
The Filipino was 6-3 down at one stage and looking in severe trouble but the match turned on an illegal break by Immonen whereby he pocketed a ball but failed to carry two other balls past the headstring.
From there Pagulayan cleared to table to gain the necessary momentum and he became stronger over the closing stages to take victory.
“This was like winning the World Championship for me. I’ve always wanted it but I’ve finally broken the ice, “ said a jubilant Pagulayan.
